The Company's fiscal calendar for 2006 does not coincide with the retail monthly calendar and, therefore, the Company's reported sales for its fiscal 2006 quarterly periods will differ from the sum of the months reported in the monthly sales releases.
In connection with the Company's ongoing review of its real estate and inventory strategies, the Company is evaluating the potential operational and financial impact of its store opening plan.
Pending the outcome of this review, the Company may reduce the number of stores it expects to open for the 2006 fiscal year. Year-to-date through September 29, 2006, the Company opened 344 stores and closed 65 stores.
